A Cowboy stops n Prize-Fight.


CHICAGO, December la Daily
Ncvs special from Hammond, Ind,
says the prize-fght between Sommers,
of Chicago, and an unknown from Michi-
gen City, at Hessville last night, was in
definitely postponed by the action of
Claude himball, n cowboy just from the
West, who, with a 44-calibre revolver IN
each hand, ran amuck through the
crowd of hundred sports present. Kim
ball fired indiscriminately into the assem-
blage, and for q few moments the
saloon where the fight Was to have
taken place seemed a pandemOnium.
Peter Reich, the saloon-keoper, pulled q
revolver on Kimball. There was an ex
change of shots and Reich fell MORALLY
wounded. Kimball took to the woods
He had been drunk and Obstreperous
early in the evening and was put out of
the saloon. In revenge he fired volley
into the windows, but no one was hurt
and the saloon-keeper treated it as a
Joke. The cowboy was quoted down
and put to bed. 1t was when everything
was IN readiness for the prize-fght that
he jumped wildly into the room and be-
gan shooting right and left.
